Opis

This volume includes a number of selected papers of the international conference "Colloidal Aspects of Lipids", held in June 1997 at Lund, Sweden. In conjunction with the conference Professor Kare Larsson, well-known and respected as a leading scientist in this field of food technology during the recent decades, was honored.
